Global climate change and rapid urbanization demand a transformation of urban energy systems toward sustainability. The integration of renewable energy microgrids into sustainable city planning is essential to enhance energy resilience, efficiency, and public acceptance of clean energy sources. However, existing policies and regulations do not fully support microgrid implementation, while community participation and comprehensive planning approaches remain limited. This study employed a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews involving five groups of informants, including government officials, urban planners, academics, microgrid providers, and local communities, to explore the challenges, opportunities, and strategies for microgrid integration. The findings indicate that cross-sector coordination, adaptive policies, integrated spatial planning, technological innovation, and community engagement are key factors for successful microgrid implementation. These results have significant theoretical and practical implications, providing guidance for policy formulation, planning strategies, and technological innovation to support sustainable cities and clean energy adoption.
